Quite a few years ago I had someone at a TDM agree with me that registration of a prefix with IBM reserved it for modules, messages, ENQ names, and a few other things, including the /usr/lpp directory. But later I noticed IBM using things like /usr/lpp/java and when I asked someone else at IBM was told that the first answer was incorrect, and that there is no registration for UNIX directories. I think your idea is a good one. The downside is that products get bought and sold, and companies change their names (in both cases trademarks may or may not follow), and the marketing people are clueless about the need to keep this kind of thing working.
